Juice's thread of randomness

[KennyTheKangaroo]

yes cost is one of the issues that kenny the kanagroo is not thrilled about. free candy bars from the office is much less expensive than almonds.

[JeffDFD]

anyone know anything about these Chromebook laptops? Thinking about buying the cheaper one to have to browse the interwebz and what not.

I cannot do peanut butter, flares up my gout for some reason like crazy. I do sunflower seeds.. but they have a lot of sodium in them.

Eggs:
I use 1 cup of egg whites. That equals about 3 eggs. If you have no heart or cholesterol problems I suggest using the whole egg. It is more beneficial than just the whites. I have high BP and borderline high chol. so I use the whites.

Time:
Eating well is all about prep. On Sunday evening I cook all of my lunch meats for the work week. (chicken, steak, salmon, etc.). That way I already have taken care of the most time consuming part of my lunch. I also cook 5 days worth of sausage. Every evening I cut up 1/2 cup of spinach to mix with my eggs, I make my breakfast and lunch salads, I pack my 2 apples/oranges for my day time snacks, I have a container of almonds ready to go. Then I pack my lunch for the next day. When I get up in the morning the only cooking I have to do consists of measuring a cup of egg whites and then throwing the spinach, whites, sausage, and 1/4 cup of oats in the pan. My entire breakfast routine takes me 20 minutes in the morning including eating time. On the weekends I am a bit more free without work so I usually prepare as I go.

Nuts:
Almonds. Stay away from legumes unless you soak them for several hours first to draw out the anti-nutrients.

It's really not that hard once you do it for a week, see the benefits (in mind, body, and on the wallet), and get into a routine.

The Harlem Shake craze jumped the shark for me before it ever began. Not a fan.

I started seeing it on the internets and thought- "I have no idea what that is." I have then proceeded to avoid it because I kind of am proud of being able to say "I have no idea what that is."

i'm proud that i can also say this about gangnam style

In addition to almonds and peanut butter, walnuts are a good nut to snack on. Very good for your heart.

just out of curiosity, do you eat like this because of prior poor health reasons, trying to losing weight, or something else?

[PensFanInDC]

Yes...

I have been overweight most of my life and I am trying (and succeeding) to lose weight. This eating plan is basically how one should eat no matter what your health status is (major medical issues such as diabetes, etc., notwithstanding). Most of the foods are metabolic boosters and help you maintain health and weight even if you stray from the plan (such as vacations, date night, that piece of cheesecake you just can't live without).

[mac5155]

Why do people still insist on using fax machines? Copiers with email pdf's are so much easier.

Bulletproof coffee is regular coffee with a "good" fat mixed into it. Some people use butter, or extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil. Its supposed to jump start your metabolism in the morning and give you enough energy that the coffee is pretty much your breakfast.

That perfect since I don't eat breakfast.
